Abstract:
In daily life, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used drugs that elicit analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and antithrombotic activities. However, gastric ulceration is a serious side effect of these drugs, which results from cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibition by oral NSAIDs in normal human gastric mucosa. Thus, COX-2-selective inhibitors should be developed to address this problem. Carbostyril (2-quinolinone and 2-quinolone) is a time-proven structural skeleton in pharmaceutical agents and physiologically active substances. The replacement of two fused-ring skeletons of lead or model compounds with carbostyril skeletons as bioisosteres without losing activities offers various advantages. Thus, promising pharmaceutical agents without serious pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic toxicities can be obtained using this strategy to incorporate carbostyrils into COX inhibitors. Herein, we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of carbostyril derivatives with integrated side chains, which form L-shaped structures like representative COX-2-selective inhibitors such as celecoxib.

The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...

The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal...

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
